Resumo

A retratação após revelação de abuso sexual de crianças configura as situações em que as eventuais vítimas negam os seus relatos prévios. Este estudo objetivou identificar, a partir da perspectiva dos profissionais, os fatores de risco e de proteção associados à retratação. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais a 23 profissionais, assistentes sociais, conselheiros/as tutelares, magistrados/as, pedagogos/as e psicólogos/as, do Brasil e de Portugal. Da análise temática realizada emergiram seis temas relativos aos fatores de risco: “Condições Relacionadas com a Criança”, “Proximidade entre Vítima e Agressor/a”, “Revelação no Contexto Informal”, “Sistema Familiar”, “Pressões da Comunidade” e “Rede de Atendimento ao Abuso Sexual de Crianças”. Surgiram ainda dois temas referentes aos fatores de proteção: “Procedimentos de Atendimentos” e “Estratégias Institucionais”. Os temas encontrados refletem a importância da abordagem ecológica e multidisciplinar sobre a retratação. São discutidas as implicações dos resultados para o campo da avaliação do risco de retratação e das respostas a providenciar pelas entidades judiciais e não judiciais.
